Ministry Gala Event!
Characters: OPEN TO ALL. Please tag with your own character(s) when you comment/they arrive.
Setting: The Ministry Atrium, Level 8, beginning at 7 PM and running until midnight
Summary: It's the Halloween ministry gala/party! Come in costume (muggle or otherwise), in elegant wear, or in dress robes. The event begins at 7PM with refreshments, appetizers, finger foods and cocktails. Desserts are served later in the evening, but the cocktails remain available all night long. There is no full dinner, as it would be quite unwieldy with the amount of people expected to attend. The dance floor is open, a live band is playing, and the atmosphere is almost aggressively pleasant. For safety reasons, wands are being checked (surrendered) at the entrances. Unless your character is on-duty at the party, he or she will not have her wand on his/her person after entering.
Rating: Let's go with R for now, as there will be some dark occurrences later in the evening. We will update as necessary.

The event coordinators at the Ministry of Magic were in fine form in the hours leading up to the start of the gala. Everything had to be perfect, and not just in appearances. The atrium had been decorated in gold and silver, slightly reflective, to capture light and brighten the large, spacious room. The band was in place by 6:30, playing quiet music that set the mood. Off to either side, slightly out of the way, were two cocktail tables, fully stocked. There was also a number of wait staff who would be walking around with trays of red or white wine as well as champagne.

The attention to the decor was due to the head events coordinator, one Ismay Plimpton, who was an absolute perfectionist. With attention down to the very last detail, she was very nearly driving the Minister mad with her questions and comments, not to mention crucial changes. Her voice and general looks had Kingsley Shacklebolt nearly thinking her related to Delores Umbridge, if Ismay weren't so remarkably pleasant and likable.

With his assurance that everything was just fine, Ismay hurried off, gently but firmly reprimanding some poor chap setting candles afloat too low for her liking. The ceiling above twinkled like night stars, and between that, the candles, and the reflective decorations, the room was perfectly lit.

Everything was ready. All they needed now were the guests.

"You can call it gawking all you like, but you'd be wrong," Cade ground out, the reign on his temper fragile after the last few weeks he'd had. He needed an outlet for it, but this wasn't the way. So he tried his best to keep himself in check, but Johnson wasn't making it easy. "It takes a lot more than a superior set of breasts to make me lose my focus. And no, the thought hasn't crossed my mind seeing as you're the first to say anything of the sort."

He snorted when she extolled her questionable virtues. "Hate to tell you, Johnson, but your idea of friendly misses the mark. But you're right. No one's making you talk to me. And yes, I am always this irritable. I'd sorry to disappoint, but I honestly don't give a rat's arse."

Her remark about glowering at the crowd made Cade realized he'd been so focused on their verbal sparring that he hadn't been scanning the throng of guests as he should have. It only served to deepen his scowl as he tore his gaze away from her to do just that. "Yes, perhaps you should go bother some other poor soul and leave me to do my job."

Angie's lip curled up. Well good to know she'd just wasted her time talking to an insufferable prat. She was irritated, though she didn't know whether more so at him for being so unbearable or herself for actually having the nerve to be somewhat flattered by him calling her breasts superior. That was a new one; they'd been called a lot of things, but not 'superior'.

"Well then in that case, excuse me while I find someone who actually knows how to carry on a conversation. Perhaps next time you wonder why you're having such a piss poor night, you'll think twice before you chase away someone trying to hold a decent conversation, yeah?" Angie's eyes hard gone dark with anger, and yet almost sparked with it at well. She was close to displaying a fine show of temper, and instead of doing so there in the ministry, she instead turned and left to get another drink. Maybe she'd hunt down Alicia or Melinda and fume, or better yet, find a nicer bloke to talk to.
